The Story Behind the Print
This 1939 nautical chart of Fernandina Harbor, on the Georgia and Florida line, is U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey chart 453, drawn at 1:20,000 with soundings in feet at mean low water. Sage-green marsh and khaki-tan land with olive-brown linework run beside pale blue-grey shallows and soft grey-white open water, with three faint grey compass roses across the land and the sea.
Lettered on the sheet are Fernandina and Old Fernandina on Amelia Island, with Fort Clinch at the northern tip and McClure Hill inland. Cumberland Sound lies between Amelia Island and Cumberland Island, where Dungeness is marked, and leads out through St. Marys Entrance. The St. Marys River winds past St. Marys, Tiger Island, Little Tiger Island and Martin Island, with Bell River, Lanceford Creek, the Amelia River and Johnson Neck through the marsh.
Printed on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper using fade-resistant giclée printing with archival inks, ensuring your vintage nautical chart will maintain its maritime heritage for generations.
Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece — the print will always be richer.
